Los Osos

Blessed with spectacular natural beauty on all sides — and literally surrounded by thousands of acres of State Parks, nature preserves, historical sites, agricultural open space and State Reserves — Los Osos/Baywood Park is far off the beaten tourist track and offers numerous opportunities for those who love the outdoors!

Los Osos is the gateway to Moñtana de Oro State Park. The park’s name, meaning “mountain of gold,” comes from the fields of wildflowers that blanket the landscape each spring. This breathtaking 8,000-acre park offers visitors a wealth of natural beauty; over fifty miles of hiking, bicycling, and equestrian trails. Other activities include golf, fishing, kayaking, shows, theater, and shopping.
